I agree, it looks awesome but come on $5 an issue! It only costs $10 for an entire subscription for the year in print... I would like to read it too on my iPad but after you read it once, you'll never read it again. For $4.99 I can buy an awesome game or utility and use it over again. I was disappointed about the pricing :(

Sorry Bryan, that's correct. It will only work with others who have the app. I find getting people to use this one is much easier because is works with Blackberry and soon Android. Plus it delivers all the same features as the stock messages app.

I totally agree. I tried Ping and it was a nice app but I wanted more features. I have yet to try Beejive because I had IM+ already and I wasn't happy with it. I would love for the devs to release a lite version bc it would definitely make things easier... Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoy the app. :)
